    The mozzarella that went on my sandwich being freshly made!
    Asma A.

    This spot is an "if you know you know" Jersey legend. Wallington Deli is renowned for its house-baked bread and freshly made mozzarella. When I say fresh, I mean so fresh that the gentleman pulling the mozzarella to finish it pulled a sheet right in front of me for my sandwich, still hot and melted. This remains the only place where I've seen the mozz on my sandwich being made. I got the chicken parm cutlet. The bread was perfectly crusty and held up to the sauce well. The chicken cutlet was perfectly fried and crispy. The staff was welcoming and friendly. I did feel like the sauce could have benefited from a touch more salt, but overall, the most magical experience a person can get in Wallington. I'll certainly be back!

    Fantastic deli with a perfect menu. No stupid sandwich names, just perfectly executed sandwiches. Bread is the best around.

    This sandwich was great! The bread was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chicken cutlet is as good as everyone is saying and the vodka sauce was tasteful. I like that they put the sandwich in a container since the sandwich can get messy. I'll definitely be back to try other sandwiches and definitely recommend it if you're in the area.

    Just wow. I had the #2 chicken cutlet sandwich with fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, a drizzle of balsamic, and a touch of fresh basil, and it was absolutely incredible. Every bite was bursting with flavor--the chicken was crispy and tender, the mozzarella creamy and fresh, and the peppers added the perfect sweetness. The balsamic brought everything together beautifully, and that hint of basil? Chef's kiss. It was refreshing, satisfying, and honestly one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in a long time.

    Have gotten uber eats from them twice in 3 days. I have yet to visit their store but I can firmly state that their italian sub is the best I have ever tried in my life. Bread is so fresh and has the perfect amount of crunch on the outside and is deliciously soft on the inside. Everything inside is perfectly ratio'd and super high quality. A perfect italian sub. The vodka parm was pretty great too.

    This places is a sleeper. What a phenomenal sandwich. Who knew, I had a 5/5, a 10/10 right on my door step. I've tried all the sandwiches around here, some better than others, but this one is the best. This is the best Italian sandwich around, I can't wait to go back and try their other sandwiches. The bread is fresh baked, the cold cuts are succulent and the lettuce is crisp, right amount of vinegar. This is an old school good Italian combo. I'm elated

    What a great sandwich, messy in the best of ways, vodka sauce was super creamy, cutlet was nicely seasoned and super juicy, and the bread was fresh, soft, and held up to the mess of the sandwich. The mutz is some of the best I have had in the area, creating that great pull you want when biting into the sandwich, I will be back

    I have been here several times in the past couple of months. I have had several chicken sandwiches, however, my favorite sandwich by far is the cheesesteak on garlic bread. The sandwich is next level. So I walked in and saw a pizza oven and thought they made pizza too. Turns out I was wrong, they use the pizza oven to make their own bread. So ALL sandwiches in this place are made on their own, Homemade bread.this is a huge part of the reason the sandwiches are all so delicious. Any chicken sandwich you get is amazing. Also, when you walk in this place is very simple. A deli counter, a soda case, and one rack with Vickie's chips. Do not let this fool you. These people are banging out these sandwiches all day that are seriously impressive! It's definitely one of the top sandwiches in Bergen County. It's a must try!

    Wow wow wow, what took me so long to come here?!?!?!? We ordered the cheesesteak, roast beef with mutz and gravy and the chicken cutlet with fresh mutz. Only problem was, they mixed up the order for the chicken cutlet with a ham sandwich instead (#5 instead of the #15). Honest mistake and when I called to inform them, they were sincerely apologetic and even offered to make the chicken cutlet sandwich right now for me to pick up, which I happily declined, giving us a reason to go back and order that sandwich on my next visit!

    This is my third time coming here, and I've said before in my Google review but I'll say it again! Truly a local blessing! I used to go to Matera's on Park Ave (in Rutherford) but I've since moved and was looking for a sandwich shop that would actually satiate my cravings, and UGHHH KEEEPS HITTING!!!! I got the ham, mozzarella, lettuce, tomato, with oil and vinegar and uggh!! So good! Their bread is also high quality -- crisp and crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside! Attaching image here (don't mind the banana peppers, I added them on my own when I got home!)

    We finally made it this past weekend to Vinnie's Mootz for one of their special tasting menu…read morenights, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. If you're expecting a typical dinner, think again. The tasting menu featured around 12 courses, and by course ten I was completely full--but somehow still excited for what was coming next. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, packed with flavor and very tasty. For me the standout of the night was the very first dish which was Vinnie's homemade mozzarella with tomatoes, which was so good that we even bought some fresh mozzarella to take home. The meatballs were also outstanding, and the steak and eggplant course was another highlight. After all that food, finishing with a cannoli just felt like the perfect ending. The atmosphere is casual and inviting, but the food is every bit as good as what you'd find at restaurants that cost a lot more. Live guitar music throughout the evening added to the experience created a nice vibe. My only suggestion would be maybe to turn it down a notch or two as it was a little hard to hear others at our table. Still a very nice touch though and all songs you would know. I always like it when a chef comes out of the kitchen, especially at a tasting menu, and Vinnie came out several times to chat with guests which was very nice. It just added a personal touch and showed how much pride goes into both the food and the overall experience and we got to hear his back story. This tasting menu is an incredible value and a great way to try dishes you might not normally order. Just remember to come hungry--and maybe skip lunch beforehand. If you can get a reservation for one of these tasting nights, don't hesitate.

    A sandwich-and-slice shop with a personality all its own. I had passed this lunch spot countless…read moretimes -- usually chuckling at the somewhat ridiculous name -- always telling myself I'd eventually stop in one day. After my first visit, I can say the tongue-in-cheek spirit of Vinnie Mootz's signage carries right through the front door and into its lineup of "SANGWEECHES." I ordered "The Nicky Mootz" -- cutlet, bacon, hot sauce, and fresh mootz -- and enjoyed it immensely in the friendly, medium-sized dining room. The pizza, which I plan to try on a future visit, looked excellent, and the small assortment of hand-stretched mozzarellas is reason enough to stop back in the next time I'm passing through. It's a Jersey sandwich -- excuse me, sangweech -- shop with all the charm, humor, and flavor you'd hope for the community!

    I just had to Reuben with the corned beef. It was really really great one of the best sandwiches…read moreI've ever had.. i can tell you this as a chef for over 30 years if you love corn beef, pastrami, or brisket this is a place for you. No reason to go to nyc this is the jersey spot for corn, beef, pastrami, brisket, all hands down it's a great place a lot of people would compare it to Kats in New york. My advice is order on the phone to take out 30 min ahead. This place is busy. Once the word gets around on how great the food is it will be just a long to wait like Kats in nyc So go there now Service is as great as it can be because its busy now. I dont know whats going to happen when word of mouth hits because this place is really that great If you like my reviews add me as your friend

    Pastrami Grill Bistro (Located in the Mini-Plaza)…read more83 River Dr. Garfield, NJ 07026 Latkes Pastrami on Rye Located in the local neighborhood strip mall in Garfield, New Jersey is an independently owned Jewish-style deli. Latkes: The potato pancakes included sour cream and applesauce. They were crispy and golden brown on the outside while warm and tender on the inside. This started was excellent and I enjoyed it down to the last bite. Pastrami on Rye: One of the unique aspects about this sandwich was being able to watch the chef prepare the main course right in front of you while waiting in line. This signature sandwich is stacked between two slices of rye bread and piled high & deep with pastrami and a smear of mustard. It has a flawless appearance and looks very appetizing. Unfortunately, I cannot say my taste buds agreed with my vision. I was unable to acquire a taste for this style of meat. The combined taste of the yellow mustard, untoasted bread, and meat was not satisfying. I gave it another chance by attempting to finish the leftovers the following day, but couldn't clear this plate. However, I can only speak for myself, as this is a top seller menu item and I witnessed other patrons eating it. Regardless of my dining experience, I can virtually guarantee this bistro has other menu items I will enjoy because the entire dining area was packed. There was a long line of customers that extended out the door. If I return, I will order an alternative lunch. #pastramigrillbistro #pastramionrye #garfieldnj
